no, you will clarify the specs -)
OK, so what do you want to know? In this context (no pun intended), I want to be able to specify different fonts based on their size range. What else do you need to know? BTW, this kind of thing will be useful as opentype support makes it to TeX (in my case, I converted to type 1). Most of the Adobe OpenType Pro text fonts have optical sizing (as did the equivalent MM fonts), and it'd be nice to simply define a typescript like minionpro-osf and have optical-size switching handled without further hassle from the user. What I originally had in mind would require me to define 16 separate typescripts just for this Minion installation: four each along the regular/SC/OSF/SCOSF axis, and four each along the optical axis. With this feature, I'd just need four. This would also make the document styles themselves easier to manage. Bruce
